LGI Homes Interview Questions
& Process

First, there was a 20-minute screener just asking about my background. Then I went to the corporate headquarters for an in-person interview. The first 30 minutes were spent on a warm introduction to the company and what they do. If you really want to stand out, you'll need to research your questions and bring a notebook to take notes. Next, there was a 30-minute personality assessment. Honestly, this part was a bit uncomfortable, with questions like 'do you find yourself to be controlling?' Then, they did an in-depth review of my experience.

I got an email from the recruiter, Gabrielle Labriola, to schedule a video interview on Microsoft Teams. It got rescheduled twice before we finally connected. The first interview was casual, asking about me and if I fit their culture. Then, another email from HR sent a link for a DISC assessment, with a note that the team and HR would be in touch about next steps if I passed. A week later, HR emailed again to set up an in-person interview with the VP of Operations, Ron Christian, and Nick Smith, scheduled for three weeks out. I got a couple of email reminders before the in-person interview. The interview itself involved a presentation about LGI Homes, followed by a Q&A session, though they didn't discuss my DISC assessment. I had a few questions too. The whole thing lasted 3-1/2 hours, way longer than I've experienced with other builders. They said I'd hear back within 72 hours, but it took a full week. Finally, I got the standard rejection email from HR. Their model homes aren't really for buyers to see; they're more like offices with tables and chairs. Plus, you have to work every Saturday and Sunday, so no family time. After checking out their homes in Eagle Mountain, I noticed they don't have basements, and they're all spec homes with no customization options for buyers. There's also very little storage. The home quality seemed below average, and reviews about warranty issues from current buyers indicate they're unhappy with LGI Homes.

It's a pretty standard interview process. You start with a virtual meet and greet with the recruiter. Then, the next interview is usually with local leadership like the Sales Manager or VP of Sales. The final interview is at the sales office where you shadow the sales team.

I applied online and then got an email to set up a phone interview. After the phone interview, I was invited to do an in-person interview. The team that I interviewed with made me feel so welcomed and it took all my nerves away. The interview process itself went very smoothly. In the beginning of the interview, they gave a presentation of the company which was an experience that I hadn't gotten in other interviews. They then asked if I had any questions and we went into the interview portion. They asked quite a few questions and I enjoyed answering them. At the end, they explained the next step process out and they ended by asking me if I had any final questions.
